UNLESS YOU EXPRESSLY STATE YOUR OPPOSITION, AND WITHIN THE LIMITS OF YOUR INTERESTS AND RIGHTS, IN ORDER TO CONTINUE PURSUING OUR LEGITIMATE INTEREST, BOTH ORGANISATIONAL AND OPERATIONAL:

After a User Account has been created, if the User has not stated their opposition, FRANCE GALOP may send them information and offers similar to the Services by email or text message (electronic communications). These personalised newsletters enable FRANCE GALOP to keep the User informed about any new FRANCE GALOP products or services. The legal grounds for this processing is the legitimate interest of FRANCE GALOP. FRANCE GALOP measures the opening rate of these electronic communications in order to adapt them to the User’s requirements.
When the User has agreed to receive newsletters and commercial offers from FRANCE GALOP, the legal grounds for this processing is their consenting to the processing of their personal data for this specific purpose. The purpose of this processing is as follows: to enable the User to subscribe to specific services (newsletters, commercial offers) and to propose services and products that match the User’s centres of interest. This consent may be retracted at any time by using the “unsubscribe” hypertext link displayed at the bottom of the aforementioned newsletters and commercial offers, or by contacting FRANCE GALOP by the methods shown at the beginning of the present Article, or via “My account” > “Settings”.

The User can oppose this profiling for newsletters and commercial offers by writing to/contacting FRANCE GALOP by the methods given at the beginning of the present Article.

To do this, the User must contact FRANCE GALOP by the methods given at the beginning of the present Article.

The data concerned by the portability right is exclusively the data declared actively and consciously by the User, which is the data provided when accessing the services proposed by the Website (account creation, online forms, email correspondence, etc.), as well as the data generated by the person’s activity when using the Website (IP address, User’s centres of interest, etc.).
Limitation rights
The User can exercise their right to limit the processing of their data by writing to or contacting FRANCE GALOP by the methods given at the beginning of the present Article.

Right to file a complaint
Without prejudice to any other administrative or jurisdictional assistance, the User has the right to file a complaint to the supervisory authority, in particular in the member state in which their habitual residence, their place or work or the place in which the violation supposedly took place is located, if they consider the processing of their personal data constitutes a violation of their rights. In France, the supervisory authority for personal data processing is the CNIL.
